Overview

Mission

To provide a safe haven, education, advocacy, and counseling to promote and restore healthy relationships

What it reported doing in 2024

Counseling services are provided to self-identified victims of crime, interpersonal/relationship violence and sexual assualt. These services are provided free of charge to both shelter residents and community members. Number of sessions and length of service is decided on a case by case basis. Legal advocacy provides legal support to individuals assisting them with orders of protection, divorce and custody paperwork, and support in various courtroom proceedings.

Operating model

Revenue model
Grant-funded. 92% of the money available for current operations came from government grants.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
